THE CRY MARK7Ts.-The official Price Current
OF the washington Produce exchange says: The
-four market Is without change. The usual cur
rent demand prevails for wheat, corn and oats, at
the same time there is an absence OF all specula-
tive FEATURES. The hay market Is barely steady
choice quality the only kind which can be placed.
The general butter market Is assuming better
shape and form. Receipts are smaller and fresh
makes meet with reader sale. The daily receipts
OF eggs average 500 cases. Our market yielded
under large receipts and disposition on part OF re-
ceivers TO realize daily, also in view OF the fact
that other markets have declined. The supply OF
dressed poultry was larger this week; weather
softened up and price yielded accordingly. There
is good demand for live poultry OF all kind There
is good demand for bright sliced sun-cured apples
and peaches also for dry cherries and other small
fruits Florida oranges In much better demand
for good fruit; such can be readily placed.

Vigorous Work of the Gladstone Liberals in
Behalf of Ireiand's Cause.
Special to the lndianapoli Journal
LONDON, April 23.-The anti-coercion cam
pagn is going on vigorously throughout the
country. Mr. Schnadhorst is at the head of this
crusade, and, aided by'his faithful lieutenant,
Mr. Powell has organized attacks upon the gov
eminent and Liberal Unionists in all the leading
centers of political activity. Mr.. John Morley's
speech in Woiverhampton this week, was, like ali
of his later speeches. full of excellent and we'll
pointed rhetoric, without hesitation or compro-
mise. Mr.. Morley has store of general knowl-
edge, gathered from the widest reading, which
enables him to speak many times on the same
subject without repeating himself. He always
puts forth new illustrations and fresh phrases,
IL not new matter. His chief point
against the government bill is that it is bill
against political combination, rather than
against crime. OF course. the supporters OF the
government deny this most strenuously. Every
government which has ever proposed coercion
bill has denied it, and every government which
mas had to administer coercion
act has proved it up to the
hilt Lord Salisbury and his supporters are now
asking Parliament to give d flip to the criminal
law and to Improve criminal procedure" in Ire
land. but, then as Mr.. Morley remarked. King
John was doing no more than giving "a fillip to
the criminal law" when be extracted the teeth
OF the jew of York, and Henry VIII was i'm
proving criminal procedure" when he demanded
power to behead his wife.

TOLD BY A CONVICT.
A Pretended Confession duplicating HuS-
band in the Murder of His Wife.

JEFFERsoNvILLE. Ind, April 23.-On the
night of Sept. 20, 1884, Mrs. Reynolds, wife of
Bowen Reynolds, a railroad conductor on the
Jacksonville, Madison & Indianapolis railroad,
was murdered in her room at Jacksonville By
some unknown desperate. who raised window
and shot her dead as she was undressing to re-
tire to bed. The detectives exhausted all their
skill to detect the murderer, and her husband
who was absent on his train at the time of the
atrocious murder. offered large reward for the
murderer. There was an insurance Of So 900
on the life of the murdered woman in the
Knights of Honor which was paid to the hus-
band.
To-day, at the southern penitentiary, at JEFF
fersonville, a convict in that institution named
Ed F. Nelson made a pretended confession to
one Michael Schane, foreman in the prison. in
which he stated that two convicts. whose names
he refused to give, were the murderers of Mrs.
Reynolds: that one of them had been hired by
Reynolds to do the killing for 500, and had sub
let the job to the other for So He further
stated that after the killing tine pistol with
which the shooting had been done was secreted
in post hole at the rear end of the lot on which
Reynolds lived.
Jeffersonville officers were informed Of Mel
sons statement, and examir ed the post-hole but
found no pistol. There was evidence. however,
that the place had been receptly dug into Those
who know Mr.. Reynolds utterly discredit the
story told by Nelson, as Reynolds and his wife
were known to live very affectiouately and were
devoted to each other. Nevertheless the state
ment of Nelson is likely to be thoroughly inves-
tigated by detectives The presumption is that
il will be proved false, and the mystery of the
murder of Mrs. Reynolds remain uurevealed
and unavenged.

Reduction in tie Price of Nails.

PrTTsBURe, April 23.--The reduction of the
card rate of nails is occasioning comment in the
city. The rate has been reduced from So 70 to
So %. This virtually puts the selling price at
81 Is in car lots, and additional per cent. off
for cash. By this change in the CID rate the
wages of tho naers will be reduced Tout per
cent. By the Amalcamated Association scale
which was adopted by the Pittsourg nail man-
ufacturers. the naiiers receiving 10 cents
when the card rate was 81. TO- On a 50. % card
they will only receive Is cents.
The iron manufacturers are now con-
graduating themselves that they did
not follow the example of the
nail men and advanced the price of iron. By
continuing the card at cents the market has
remained in good condition. 1t is said that
the present selling price of both nails and iron
will be the basis of argument to be used by man
ufacturers against any proposed increase OF
the scale of wages at the annual meeting
of the Amalcamated Association to be held
next June. IF the Amalgamated Association
shows its wisdom" said a well known iron
manufacturer this afternoon, sit will let we'll
enough alone and not try TO change the basis
for wages Il has been clearly proven now that
the nail men and the Eastern manufacturers
made great mistake in advancing the card
rates."

WASHINGTON, April 23-The President was
engaged this morning. and could not be seen
with reference to the statement telegraphed
from st. Louis at q late hour last night, to the
effect that in conversation with prominent Sen
ator he had expressed an unalterable determine

subject, said: II am quite sure that the Presi-

New YORK. April "a Washington special

he has made the same answer-that ne had not

to think about to get through the present four

From other sources the evidence points strongly
to Senator Vest as the person who gave out the
information. Mr.. Vest is believed to have made
his statement in good faith, misinterpretne
some particulars of recent interview with the
President. Senator Vest, when questioned abou,
the matter this afternoon declined to affirm o,
deny the authorship of the published interview.
When pressed for his private opinion he saio
that he believed the President not to be actively

party insisted on his doing So
